This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I hear voices, they tell me to stop
Why should I listen,
They've never felt the drop
They hide in corners behind the pretty girls
In their
Gold in their gold in their gold
One minute to a, one minute to a, one minute to midnight
My soul you can have it cause it don't mean shit
I'd sell it to the devil for
Another hit
And midnight is coming and I wish that you were here
I hear
Voices, echo in my brain
They don't like it cause I'm not dressed the same
They
Hunt for rabbits just like Yosemite Sam
Say your prayers, say your prayers, say your
Prayers
One minute to a, one minute to a, one minute to midnight
My soul you
Can have it cause it don't mean shit
I'll sell it to the devil for another hit
And
Midnight is coming and I wish that you were here
My soul you can have it cause it don't
Mean shit
I'll sell it to the devil for another hit
And midnight is coming and I
Wish that you were here
There's no need to fall, there's no need at all
Out of control on my own trying to find my way back
How did end up here And into darkness I walk as the world goes on by
Out of control on my own trying to find
My way back
How did end up here
And into darkness I walk as the world goes on by
I hear voices they tell me to stop
I hear voices they tell me to stop
I
Hear voices they tell me to stop
I hear voices they tell me to stop
Why should I listen,
They've never felt the drop
They hide in corners behind the pretty girls
In their
Gold in their gold in their gold
One minute to a, one minute to a, one minute to midnight
My soul you can have it cause it don't mean shit
I'd sell it to the devil for
Another hit
And midnight is coming and I wish that you were here
I hear
Voices, echo in my brain
They don't like it cause I'm not dressed the same
They
Hunt for rabbits just like Yosemite Sam
Say your prayers, say your prayers, say your
Prayers
One minute to a, one minute to a, one minute to midnight
My soul you
Can have it cause it don't mean shit
I'll sell it to the devil for another hit
And
Midnight is coming and I wish that you were here
My soul you can have it cause it don't
Mean shit
I'll sell it to the devil for another hit
And midnight is coming and I
Wish that you were here
There's no need to fall, there's no need at all
Out of control on my own trying to find my way back
How did end up here And into darkness I walk as the world goes on by
Out of control on my own trying to find
My way back
How did end up here
And into darkness I walk as the world goes on by
I hear voices they tell me to stop
I hear voices they tell me to stop
I
Hear voices they tell me to stop
I hear voices they tell me to stop

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Just luv this band. I hate being the first to comment because I'm not good at deciphering lyrics, but this is what I hear (the operative word is "I"): His conscience tells him he shouldn't be doing something. That something is the young girls with their glitter and gold. He is willing to go against what he knows is right for another hit (ie. girl). He silences his conscience. He wishes the one he loves and will soon cheat on is there, but she's not so any other girl will do. He views himself as a hunter; the girls are his prey. He wants to change (ie. "out of control...trying to find my way back"). The voices tell him to stop, but he walks into the darkness yet again.
I'm no expert here, by any means, but I believe one of the operative words is 'hit'. In their gold, in their gold, in their gold(en brown)???
This song is about something the writer's mind is telling him to stop doing, and the fact that what he's doing is more precious to him than his soul (which he's gonna lose anyway if he carries on with it - bloody fool), tells me that he's addicted to something. Yosemite Sam 'shoots' rabbits. Midnight is coming - morning seems a long way away - wishing he had something to see him through 'till the morning maybe??
The last verse says it all really. Yeah, he's right, there IS no need to fall - you just stay away from it altogether - but he's already fallen into that dark place, wears raggedy clothes and cares nothing for himself - his one and only interest is heroin. His mind tells him not to do it but his body won't listen.
I hope he manages to climb out of that shitty place, like I did....
:)
For me this song is all about addiction and regret. There is a lot of imagery taken from Dr Faustus by Christopher marlowe. The concept in that play is Faustus selling his soul to the devil for 24 years of hedonism. Throughout the play he hears voices of conscience but never listens or repents. Then, at the end of the 24 years the devil comes for him at midnight ("midnight is coming') and he is taken to hell ('into the darkness I walk as the world goes on by'). I think in this context it's all about how addiction blinds us to ourselves and the people around us who care for us and perhaps how we need to go to hell before we realise that we were wrong.
Basically it my understanding he is wrestling with his conscience (mostly bad side) by looking at pretty girls and gold being glittering promise of things that could come.
In the second verse he talks about not being dressed the same meaning he not following the crowd and his conscience telling him he should to "fit in" and other people do the same thing over and over again with dressing the same "like yosemite sam" always goes after bugs bunny but fails.
I think the chorus is basically him just saying he cares about stuff like that because his thoughts and conscience are telling him to do anything for another hit song. meaning the world can have his soul and dignity so long as he gets it.
And at the end he realises what he done and can't believe it and changes his ways and stops listening to the voices

This song is about trying to overcome addiction. He's between stopping and continuing to feed his addiction.
"It was inspired by being in a club in Paris and hearing Daft Punk. I had this riff that reminded my of my raving days. It's about being in a flash club full of rich men, looking at the clock and missing home a bit. A simple sentiment amid the madness." - Q Magazine, September 2011
